Hi All,

I am running Captivate 12.6 and receive an error message "Something Went Wrong" every time I try to preview a project in Google Chrome. Initially, I was able to preview without difficulty and then this started happening. I have cleared the cache in my browser and Captivate, and still cannot preview. I would appreciate any ideas or solutions anyone may be able to provide. Thank you. *Screen Shot Below.
